hi, took a full picture set of me making a bhuna which then i turned half into a rogan josh.
i never use pre-made spice mixes because it takes the fun and learning outta making a curry, but on this occasion i had a jar of mr huds international curry paste which i purchased just to try but mainly i needed to buy something else to make the purchases up for the free delivery deal. So this has been sitting in the cupboard for a few months so thought i would use it up. its realy quite good but no better than many spice mixes of your own you can make here.
frying garlic, ginger and a bay leaf
adding mr huds 3 teaspoons
cooking for a minute
in with tomato and pepper ( any pepper will do i just had some yellow lying around)
3 ladles of base sauce and some 2 birdseye green chillies chopped i also added some methi powder about 1/4 teaspoon.
gave it couple of mins
added pre-cooked chicken i pre-cooked the chicken for about 6 mins adding a little tumeric and curry powder.
just about there after another 5 mins, added some fresh coriander and let it reduce a little, the oil is rising to the top.
took half out the wok and into the balti dish, now onto the rogan josh.
added 1 tsp chilli powder, 1 teaspoon of mr huds, 1 ladle passata, half a finely chopped onion, fried in oil then added to the wok.
cooked on high heat for a few mins letting in reduce, added a couple of bits of tomato as well.
another couple of mins later just about there added some fresh coriander.
all ready in the balti dish
all done now with pilau rice, thanks 976bar for your tip the rice came out perfect.
